Ancient Egyptians

In Year 5 we learn all about the Ancient Egyptians, their way of life, where Egypt is located in the world, the River Nile and the importance of it, the pyramids and all about the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and Gods. We carry out research on the computers and iPads and enjoy using topic books to answer our curious questions.

We enjoy creating some fantastic pieces of art and together we carry out some experiments too in order to explore this topic further, for example one of our favourite activities is an investigation to find out more about mummification!
